Trying to install a GUI MUA has me wedged ... and lost!!
I've been trying to get the mozilla mail/news suite to
work for a long time--well, on and off! I finally
installed cucipop on NS1.THOUGHT.ORG and tried to start it.
root at ns1:/usr/local/etc/rc.d# /usr/local/libexec/cucipop -Y
cucipop: Can't bind socket 110
NS1 had a valid IP address; my two other systems are internal,
private, invisible from the outside. At any rate, after some
pondering I altered the 'news and mail' configuration. Voila;
mail *is* sent out (in HTML). But not received... (???)
/var/mail/kline is my spool; mozilla can't see this for some
reason.
evolution refuses to build because some of the GNOME libs
won't upgrade. (Of my 400 ports, just 11 seem broken.)
Can anybody recommend a GUI mail program that doesn't have
so many dependencies?
1.) Do I really need pop3? 2.) How do I get the mozilla mail
to recognize the mail in my spool dir? , and 3) What is a
decent MUA?
thanks muchly,
gary
